The Easiest Chocolate Cookies Ever and a NuNaturals Giveaway

When Ron from NuNatural’s offered to send me a box of his stevia products, including an bottle of chocolate syrup, I couldn’t resist making these holiday chocolate cookies. Friends and family can attest to the fact that I do not like to bake. There is nothing about the precision required to bake cookies, cakes and desserts that appeals to me.

I much prefer flying by the seat of my pants, tossing ingredients into a salad bowl, or inventing stir fries in my head while my pilates instructor drones on. (Oooops! Did I say that?!)

NuNaturals Vegan Energy Bars

NuNaturals Banana Muffins

I believe Ron is the only person that can get me to bake. I truly am a fan of his products as you can see by the energy bars and muffins I created with his More Fiber, and Stevia.

If you aren’t familiar with stevia, it’s a natural sweetener made from a green, leafy plant found in South America. According to Authority Nutrition, studies show that this sweet plant could possibly lower blood pressure and blood sugar.

Not a bad thing, right?

But baking still isn’t my favorite thing to do, so I decided to keep my chocolate cookie recipe as simple as I possibly could – not to mention healthy.

I took out my food processor, added a can of black beans, whole wheat pastry flour, butter, and NuNaturals Chocolate syrup to the bowl. After my concoction was completely blended, I rolled it out into balls, then flattened them into disks, perfect for baking in the oven.

After a dusting with cocoa powder, my chocolate cookies were ready for the holiday cookie platter.

Don’t they look beautiful? Even better, they have a brownie-like texture that makes it hard to believe they’re a healthier treat.

So there you are! These are truly the easiest cookies I’ve ever made. If you’d like Ron to send you a box of stevia products so you can give them a try, he’s awarding four readers ( 1 ) one bottle of each of the NEW SUGAR-FREE SYRUPS, PLUS a 50 packet box of NuStevia White Stevia Powder packets. Not to mention a free bonus product!

NuNaturals provided me with some of the materials I used in these cookies. I bought the rest of the materials from them with my own money. The opinions I shared about using NuNaturals are my own, and they did not tell me what to say or how to say it.
